To start, the ; maxiter is 500-million and the logmap is over 1-1/2-million. ; The magnitude of over 1.7*(10^12) required the mathtolerance ; entry in the parameter file to prevent the calculation from ; flipping into arbitrary precision math, which would take about ; 300 hours. As it is, the calculation time is only 3-2/3 hours. ; And this is true on the very fast P2000 machine. On the slow ; old P200 it would take close to three days to finish. But even ; 3-2/3 hours is ridiculously slow, so I strongly recommend view- ; ing the image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image is a scene very, very deep in the north branch of ; Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. It is so deep that I ; actually surprised myself when I managed to finish it. The ; rating of an 8 is mostly to reward myself for the extra effort. ; ; Perhaps the most unusual thing about the scene is the multitude ; of what I call "peanut holes", which I have colored a brilliant ; white so that they stand out in the otherwise dull surroundings. ; But don't be satisfied with my color palette. Some surprising ; effects can be achieved with other palettes. On this, the ; fractal cats agree. ; ; A fairly warm and humid day (84F 29C) here at Fractal Central on ; Friday was interrupted by a heavy thunder-shower in the after- ; noon. But when the rain moved out, the sun returned. While the ; rain fell, the fractal cats enjoyed it from their window. Then ; their thoughts turned to food. ; ; My day was a bit busier than normal, but I finished everything ; in good enough shape. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. With ; only a tiny bit of luck, it will be ready by then. Until next ; FOTD, take care, and be wary of rogue fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Most_Extreme { ; time=3:41:59.76-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.75000000015519540/+0.000009999037165\ 41/1.763618e+012/1/-157.504399363283028/-0.0071528\ 7064864876532 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=500000000 inside=0 logmap=1570000 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000GE6NE6LD6JC6HC6GDAGEDGFGGGJFHNFIQFJTFKWE\ L_EMbENeEOh8UoEPkKKgQFdWA`a5Xi0Tg1Uf2Vd3Wc4Xa5Y`6Z\ Z7_Y8`W9aVAbTAcSBdQCePDfNEgMFhKGiJHjHIkGJlFJlGLmHN\ mIOmJQnKRnLTnLUoMWoNXoOZpP_pQapQbqRdqSeqTgrUhrVjrV\ ksWmsXnsYptZqt_stYwv_tt`rraopbmocjmdhkeejfchg`fhZe\ iXcjUakS_lPZmNXnKVKAGKAGqDQrBPsBQuBRvBSwBTtDTrETpG\ TnHTlJTjKThLTfNTdOTbQT`RTZTTXUTVVTTUSSURQTQPTPOTOM\ SNLSNJRMIRLHRKFQJEQIDQHBPHAPG8OF7OE6OD4NC3NB2NB4OD\ 5OF7PH8PJ9PLBQNCQPDQRFRTGRVHRXJSZKS`LSbNTdOTfPThSS\ fUSdWSbZR``RZbRXeQVgQTiQRlPPnPNpPLrPJu`EPEPwkBvjBu\ iBthCsgCrfCqeCpdDXDXnbDmaEl`Ek_ES3ThYCfWBeVAcCaaR7\ `Dj_R9_SB_Tz_UGZVJZLLZXOZYQYZTY_VY`YYa_XbbXcdXdgXe\ iVgkUhlSimRjnPkoOmqMnrLosKptMquOrvQswStxUuyWvzYwz_\ xzayzczzezzgzzizzkzzmzzozzqzzrzzszztzzuzzvzzwzzxzz\ yzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
